Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Playing a select role in a select environment, sometimes with other people. The role you play differs from others' roles and has a great effect on the way you pay the game.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Using real-life factors to affect your in-game decisions. It's bad. For example: Deciding to be an elf in-game solely based on the fact that you are vegetarian in real life.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: It's also bad: Using emotes (Like the /me command) to portray actions that affect others who cannot affect the actions being done. For example: Jack emoting "Jack asks John for some money, and John gives Jack some money" is power-emoting. John did not make the decision to give Jack some money, even though Jack emoted that happening.
 
 

In-Character Details

Character Name: Arkionus Terin
Character Race: Wood Elf
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: (The following is written in first-person.)
My name is Arkionus Terin, and I am 127 years old. I have longish hair dyed a very light green, and eyes in a similar style. My parents still live to this day in a solitary home in the woods, but I roam free in lands far away from where I was raised. I suppose you'd like to hear about my childhood.
Being that my family lived alone, and that I was and still am an only child, I was never the social kind. My parents had fled into those woods about 600 years before now; they were fleeing from a great war, and they found peace there. I, on the other hand, was born with courage and a desire for adventure. By age 10 my dream was to meet new people and explore new places. By age 20 I perfected my ability to jump from tree to tree and hit a target 50 meters away with a bow. By age 40, I got into book-writing, and had time to write a short autobiography before I realized that my entire story was still ahead of me. My mother promised me that I could leave when I turned 125, and my father taught me many things about survival. By age 60 I was a master of survival in the forest; I could find spiders and extract their string to make a bow, and I knew which trees were infested with vile creatures and which were not just by glancing at their roots. I had already memorized the arrangement of the ever-changing forest, and drew maps of it by age 90. My father continued teaching me important skills, such as swimming and minor martial arts, until my 125th birthday. It was the last birthday I ever celebrated with my parents, and definitely the best. My father gave me the bow passed down from his father, the same bow he used in the war to shoot down enemies while riding atop an eagle. My mother gave me a backpack full of supplies for my journey. I thanked them both, and after a short party, left the next morning. They followed me to the edge of the woods and waved me farewell for as long as I could see them, until they disappeared over the horizon.

What are your character's ambitions?: To go on an adventure, basically.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:
Umm... haven't figured out how to do that on this forum. I've attached the picture instead, it's better than nothing...
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: I spare undead and monsters as long as they do not attack me. But Endermen? They are my worst foes. Impervious to arrows, moving faster than the fastest runner, black as night, and masters of abduction. When I see an Enderman, I will do anything I can to put an end to its dark life.
 
 

Open-Response-Questions

 
 

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?
I slowly approach and greet myself. While looking at what he has to offer, I ask him about the shops in the marketplace. After I've heard where the nearest elf's shop is, I buy the cheapest thing the dwarf has to offer, wish him farewell, and continue on to the elf's shop.

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
I try to intimidate the Orc to distract him, buying the dwarf time to flee. If the Orc approaches me with anger, I continue to negotiate in a threatening manner. If the Orc doesn't leave in peace, and a fight ensues, then I will taunt him, run to and climb up the nearest tree, and fire an arrow at his leg to disable him. However, if the Orc attempts to bring the tree down, I will jump off and onto his back, then take him out with my dagger.

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
I help him up and gather his coins for him, not taking a single one. I also give him my walking stick in exchange for information about Malinor.
